he, she or it, will call at any of thu

We neglected last week to notice the
purchase of an interest in our neighbor
the Courant, by Prof. J. c. Hamm,
of Humboldt. AS Mr.. Hamm will
take no part at present in the conduct
of the paper the new arrangements
will make no change. His popularity
with the democrats of the south part Of
the county will make his name of val

besides strengthening it financially.

The House unanimously passed the depend
emit pension bill over the veto. This House is
democratic, pnre, simple, unadulterated and
honest. Daring to do right. 1t reminds the

Wear requested to give notice that
the w. r. c. will have a Chrysan-
themum show next fall at which three
prizes will be offered for the best dis
play of this flower. The announce
ment is made at this time so that all
who wish to make entries may begin
in season. Chrysanthemum shows
were all the rage last year in towns
that had any self respect, and we are
glad that the ladies of the Relief Corps
have decided to give lola a place in
the procession. Let US see to it that
We get up next to the band wagon.
At a special meeting held on Wed.
nesday night, the City Council agreed
to order an election on the proposition
to have the city take stock in the Gas
and Coal Company. The question will
be voted on at the general election
April 4. In the meantime it should 5e
thoroughly discussed so that every
citizen may go to the polls prepared to
good of the city. The REGISTER will
publish next week the law under
which the proposition is made and
will have something to say concerning
the advisability of adopting or reject
ing it.
Mr.. Knapp showed us a paper thi;
week containing an item stating tn al
all the stock of the Muncie. Ind, Nat
ural Gas Company, had been taken
This company started under much
greater discouragementst than We have
experienced, for they spent nearly SS,-
coo before they demonstrated that 4
sufficient quantity of gas could be oh
tanned. When the demonstration was
made, however, capitalists We're only
too glad of the opportunity to invest liz
it and the result is that all the stock,
$4,000, has been sold. Let lola bore
but one more well and we will see the
same thing repeated here.
One of the first things we hope to ses
go into the machine shops along with
the Carriage Factory. is a wholesale
broom factory. Allen county raiseI
as fine broom corn as can be raise
anywhere and can produce any guam
tity of it. 1t is ridiculous that W.
should ship our corn thousand mile.
to have it made into brooms and theI
ship the brooms back again. a factory
employing 100 hands if located her
could be operated with profit. Thu
raw material is here. the buildings ar
here, the fuel for power is here and thu
territory that would be tributary is IN
occupied. The opportunity is rar'
one and we certainly hope to see it i'm
proved.
We may congratulate the city o
Fort Scott on the acquisition ofsuch al
able, energeric and experienced bust
ness man as is Judge W. q. Allison
from lola. Judge Allison has ably
edited both county papers at that plac
and has Just vacated the office Of pro
